Juventus and Fiorentina on top in Europe, now counts only winning the group

It has specified very well Massimiliano Allegri at the press conference. Against Sevilla are prohibited missteps. Not winning, or not keep the first place in the group after so much effort, it would be unforgivable. The translation of the words of the Juventus coach is simple: no turnover . And patience for anyone who has not played much.

Now, if Allegri will confirm what he has said to the media ( "This time the owners are cheap ..." , ed), the training that Juventus made ​​object to Seville is taken. In front of Buffon, classic 3-5-2 with Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini in defense, Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba and Alex Sandro in midfield, Dybala and Morata in attack . The alternatives of course are pochine, as Pereyra, Evra, Hernanes , Khedira and Mandzukic were in Turin for several reasons, Asamoah and Padoin were not included in the list UEFA, Caceres is not yet ready and Lemina is still bruised. Less than a chance to surprise Zaza, Cuadrado and Rugani, Juve the Sanchez-Pizjuan should be one that you have read above. Better at the time, Allegri could not deploy.

Someone warn the Leghorn. But how, Sunday night is the Fiorentina and against Sevilla we risk all holders? Sure, you might say for a moment taking up the defense of Allegri. The first place in the group is too important, and too close at hand to have it escape. Switch to the knockout stage as top of the class in one of the most difficult of all the Champions League , it means encountering - in theory - an opponent more affordable in the spring. Maybe it will not, and the same road as the Juventus last year would be enough to disprove what we are saying, but it is there for all to see that the draw of the Old Lady of last season have been quite benevolent.

Here, get used to it would be a mistake . If the results obtained so far have allowed Juventus to play for the top spot until the end, why not take this chance and give everything even in the last game? And then, you know, winning helps you win. Since eventual victory in Sevilla accrue new convictions which could then help children Allegri to make full loot in the league, against Fiorentina.

 As was the case under the management of the Spanish, the current Napoli player Sarri is in trouble in the fields of the province. As reported by the 'Gazzetta dello Sport', had happened earlier in the season against Sassuolo, then I draw against Sampdoria and Empoli, up to the braking against Genoa and last knockout against Bologna's Dall'Ara.

The most convincing performance came against their big instead of this Serie A, reflecting a style of play that opponents prefer more open. The Azzurri are obviously in trouble when faced teams well covered by the defensive point of view.

The bad day was partly cheered by the usual great performance by Gonzalo Higuain , author of the second one-two in a row after that trimmed Inter. The 'Pipita' travels the fearsome scoring average of a goal every 90 minutes in the league, even if you mix also improved the goals of the Europa League: a network every 86 minutes, the overall figure.

Juventus calciomercato - two decisions: Rugani remains, postponed the speech Cuadrado with Chelsea

He has eyes all over Juventus . The Bianconeri, engaged in the Champions League against Sevilla to grab the top spot in the group and shot in the league, are at the same time trying to figure out what will be the moves as far as the winter transfer.

First of Marotta and Guild, as reported by the BBC, they are going to not listen to any of the offers that will come and that have already arrived for the under 21 Daniele Rugani . The boy, who up to now had virtually space, was passed with flying colors, and thanks to the use of the module 3-5-2 find more space by the end of the season.

On him, as is known, there are Napoli and Sampdoria . The former are willing to shell out up to 20 million Euros for him, the seconds it would take a loan, only situation welcomed by Juventus, should change his mind racing.

Juventus and Chelsea had initially given an appointment in mid-January to talk about the redemption of the Colombian from the Blues. In fact, after reaching an agreement on the word, set at EUR 22 million, the two companies have decided to see each other in February, when it will be closed for the winter transfer window.

According to today's edition of the Daily Mirror , Simone Zaza is increasingly close to leave Juventus during the next market session. The club would in fact convinced to give in loan the former Sassuolo like three British companies: West Ham, Stoke City and Watford, with the latter club the lead on competitors. The British newspaper about a possible deal on the basis of a loan with the right of redemption set in just under 5 million euro.

Barcelona prepares shots of the transfer market for summer 2016: targeted Gundogan, Bernardeschi and Marco Alonso


Barcelona is clearly preparing for next summer, when it will again have the opportunity to make purchases in the market, given the expiry of the blockade imposed by FIFA . Barca sporting director, specialist in the international market, Ariedo Braida , is why traveling around Europe, looking for names that may be fine for the pink of Luis Enrique.

 In particular the research Braida related items that could be an alternative to the various Pogba , Verratti and Marquinhos , goals top the list but with a price tag excessive even for speakers of Catalan.

As for the role of central defender he liked much Stones of ' Everton . In summer the company Liverpool rejected an offer of 40 million by the Chelsea ; later also the United proved vigilant on the boy. Why not be definitely easy to buy it. Alternatively it continues to be monitored Laporte of ' Athletic Bilbao .

Right back. Are two names, Hector Bellerín of ' Arsenal and Federico Bernardeschi of Fiorentina . The second was viewed last week during the Serie A match against Sassuolo (also like Berardi ): versatile player, as Aleix Vidal can also play in midfield or in more advanced positions on the outside. About Fiorentina, Braida wanted to look even better performance of Marcos Alonso , but was only on the pitch for 11 minutes.

In midfield rise day after day quotes Ilkay Gundogan , seen at work in the match of Borussia Dortmund against Werder Bremen . Gundogan is proving to have recovered perfectly by his physical problems. It also has a contract expiring in June of 2017 that makes its purchase price by no means exorbitant. Among gialloneri it has also aroused great impression on young median Julian Weigl , launched from Tuchel in this vintage.

Then these are definitely the hot names for next summer. Season during which, Braida, after months without being able to start a negotiation, will be rather boil their mobile phone.

Llorente e Immobile ready to push the Sevilla to victory against Juventus

Fernando Llorente and Ciro Immobile , both in his first season with the Sevilla, not faring well. 'Lion King': 3 goals in 13 games. The center of Torre Annunziata: 2 goals in 12 tokens. Some tactical problem in the background, the offensive phase of Unai Emery requires certain movements, comparable only with time. Both, however, they will play tonight against their past: the Juventus .

The Old Lady has indelibly marked two careers. Still, thanks to Juventus, has left the football province to sample the big stage. Llorente, however, has run in Turin had the satisfaction of winning two league titles , two Italian Super Cups and one Italian Cup ; starred with Antonio Conte, less essential with Massimiliano Allegri . End result: exemplary professional finished strongly in the sympathies of the locker room and fans; at all happy - after several months - the consensual termination.

On the other hand, however, once again in Corso Galileo Ferraris seem to have been right. The move to make sure Mario Mandzukic , in fact, is proving apt. As well as it has saved 20 million of gross salary for a luxurious alternative, well, vote for strategy duo - Marotta Guild. Recent history tells how, dealing with management, Allegri would willingly accepted the permanence of the 30 year old striker of Pamplona.

Perfect man dressing room, never a controversy and a lot of dedication. And, in fact, Juventus in the closing bars of the last window summer has tried to place Simone Zaza at West Ham , operation set on the basis of the loan with the right of redemption, he skipped because of the hesitation of Lucan. At the end of the day, he granted, to pack was Llorente.

No regrets, the strikers of the Old Lady has made ​​a quantum leap forward, just think of the repeated benches Alvaro Morata . The 'Lion King' was unable to settle the mechanisms of Allegri, the dirty work behind the door, but few contributions incisors. Final result: 9 centers in 45 games under the court of the coach from Livorno. The Tuscan coach prefers tips with other characteristics, depth and not being held, that is not possible in the technical background a tower of the old school.

Nando in Vinovo was able to improve from the tactical point of view, certainly, exploring paths precendementie ever undertaken in the adventure of Bilbao. The farewell hath consumed the banner of good relationships, marriage is not very long but intense, well explained by the words issued by the Sevilla striker during the presentation of the match: " In Turin I had two wonderful years, many emotions. Playing for Juventus is incredible, I really miss the city . " In short, the great absentee of going to a physical problem - between memories and sentimental - do not miss his generous contribution in a race that promises to be hot.

Another possible star of the evening: Building. Discovered by the foresight of Ciro Ferrara , in 2008 head of the academy of Juventus, immediately it appeared a foreign body to the Green Line. Large potential expressed in 2009 by winning the Viareggio Tournament : twice in the final to Sampdoria . Bis in 2010, in the same event, with a hat-trick at 'Empoli . Comment of the "Cyrus has nothing to do with the Spring." And so it was. The evolution has run real occurred on the other side of the Po, the court master of Giampiero Ventura , one that we can do with talent. The rest, for now, not much: evil to Borussia Dortmund , impalpable to Sevilla. It 'time to surrender?
